Breakfree/CLP

[TomSudz]

I've used CLP since 1984 and have never had anything like what was described happen. At work, we took 3 of our old tools which were being replaced and did an experiment. All of the tools in the test were exactly the same. One was coated with WD-40, one with CLP and the third nothing. The tools were set aside in the same area on the apparatus floor so that their exposure would be the same. After 3 months the tools were compared. The tool with nothing had some light surface rust on some areas. The tool with CLP looked just as it did on day 1. The tool with WD-40 had a white, powdery corrosion over its entire surface.

The purpose of the test was to determine what, if anything, we could put on our tools on the fire trucks to keep them from rusting if they were to go for a while without being used. From that point forward, we have given our metal tools a light coat of CLP after they have been used and cleaned.

One last comment with regard to gun oils and wood stocks.

Recommend storing wood stocked rifles muzzle down in the safe. When they're resting on their butts, the oils in the barrel and action will weep down with gravity and saturate the stock.

this also helps to prolong the life of rubber butt pads.

Beware of using Kroil in the house. When my very first can arrived at my house I immediately began swabbing down the bores of some of my pistols and rifles at my little card table set up in my home office. The look on my wife's face when she got home and walked down the hallway to my office told me that I should only use it in my backyard shop.
Hoppe's=inside.
Kroil=outside.

Yes indeed. Kroil does leave a strong, lingering odor that is almost sickening if used in confined spaces. It's best used outdoors or in shop areas with plenty of ventilation.

Good stuff though......one of the best penetrating solvents available.

I leave CLP in the bore after cleaning everything, and as the operating lube for the AR actions. No problems after many years. Agree that other products are better for removing fouling.

I've been using both Kroil and Break Free for years. can't think of any reasons to change.
